The tribe of Levi known as the Levitical Priesthood:
Numbers 1:49-51New King James Version (NKJV)49 "Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor take a census of them among the children of Israel; 50 but you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, over all its furnishings, and over all things that belong to it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they shall attend to it and camp around the tabernacle. 51 And when the tabernacle is to go forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up.

The only tribe of Israel that retains some form of identity is the Tribe of Levi, of which the Cohens are a part. This is the tribe from which the Priests and their assistants came, and members of that group still have ceremonial functions in Jewish religious services. Therefore, for most modern Jews, if they cannot say they are Cohanim or Levites, they are unable to say what tribe they descend from.
The Levites were one of the tribes of Israel. Israel's priests were chosen from this tribe. They are referred to as the Levitical priests. Israel was a theocracy which means its government was run by its religious leaders (Levites/Levitcal priests).Under the Mosaic Law (Law of Moses) the other eleven tribes were commanded to pay tithes to the Levites. In turn, the Levitical priests were responsible for offering the tithes to the Lord as a form of ceremonial/religious worship.Your Tithe ExpertTheTithingHoax.com
